Excel Template for Budgets

It might seem to be an easy step. Just open a new file and start typing, right? But it’s rare for that to work for me. I love to have a strong working title and an outline before I write too much. John’s written about this earlier, after he found he could accelerate his writing process ~600% by producing a summary .

As I wrote an outline for a post this week I realized I was repeating the same process for every single new post I work on. Like any good programmer, I realized repeating the exact same work over and above means that is probably a fantastic chance for automation.

So I decided to create some templates for myself.
I began by creating a template for the most common Ghost blog article structure. Since that structure’s particular to me, I also created a template based on how John constructions his articles, and another according to a writer whose work I admire.

For every template I’ve created a gist to show you what they look like. They are just Markdown documents, so go right ahead and save them, rename them if you prefer, and copy-and-paste the contents into a new file whenever you are ready to write. Click on the”view raw” link on the bottom of every gist to observe the plain text version, which you can copy to a new file on your favorite writing app.

With this template, I can begin with answering each dot line using a few notes about what I need to write in that segment. By the time I’m done, I will have a rough sketch of what the final piece will look like. This should make it simpler to enlarge my notes to fully-formed paragraphs and make them flow into each other well, since I understand the arrangement of the whole piece beforehand.

Using the template, I found that my summarizing procedure became much more involved. I’d actually planned to do a complete rough draft of the post in the morning, but it took me a couple of hours just to get the outline done, so I put off the draft for a different day.

On the other hand, I had over 1600 words written in my outline, along with a solid idea of what each section would comprise and how they’d work together to create a feeling of flow in the post. Even though outlining took longer than normal, drafting took time since I’d put myself up for success. Composing the draft was just a matter of taking each chunk of notes from the outline and filling it out into a readable paragraph or two.

It had been quite a different process to how I normally do the job, and I was tempted a couple of times to prevent the extra research or thinking necessary to complete the outline correctly. I often put these things off till I am drafting, and that’s when I must be focused on writing rather. I stuck to it, however, and from the time I got around to writing the draft I was glad I had.

I have really coined my outline and study procedure by applying this template. It’s a more effective part of the process now and makes printing easier. Hopefully it’ll lead to better work, also.
